Pathologies of Transactive Memory
Perhaps the most obvious failure of trans active memory would occur if it never got started. Intimacy could not develop in a relationship if the couple never talked, if their initial personal knowledge stores were so disjunctive that they had no common ground to discuss, or if they could find no way to put together their ideas into new, group-generated thoughts. In terms of our theoretical analysis, then, intimacy could fail because of a lack of trans active processes, a lack of higher-order linkages that would allow differentiation, or a lack of common lower-order knowledge stores that would allow integration. Once a relationship has formed, the processes of communication, differentiation, and integration must continue. We suspect that communication. will halt in an ongoing partnership, bringing that partnership to an end, when a gross imbalance occurs between the processes of differentiation and integration.
Globalization
In its broadest sense, globalization refers to the extension of a whole range of economic, cultural and political activities across the world landscape. Globalization can be defined as the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa. In this context, the increasing economic and cultural interdependence of societies on a world scale is of particular interest. Because it involves interaction in so many areas and at numerous levels, it is virtually impossible to conceive of globalization as a singular concept. There are many “globalizations” occurring in various sectors and fields of activity, including telecommunications, finance and culture.
